Description

The ScrumMaster Clinics

A health check for newly practicing ScrumMasters. The clinic is a place to come to share your struggles, offer ideas, listen and learn, and become rejuvenated in your work.

Date and Times

There are two clinics on 7th November, one in the morning, 10 am to 1 pm, and one in the afternoon, 2 pm to 5 pm. Please sign up for one or the other. If you are traveling from out of town and would like to attend both clinics, please write to the organiser before reserving two tickets.

Structure

There is no set agenda, rather each clinic will be structured around the current needs of the participants. Through the use of various learning techniques, including interactive exercise, role-play, pair dialog and whole group conversation specific issues will be explored, and resolutions sought.

Participation

The ScrumMaster Clinic is open to any practicing ScrumMaster, certified or not, and to all those that have taken the CSM or PSM workshop but are not yet in a position to practice the craft.

These clinics are offered as a free service. We supply tea, coffee, pastries, fruit and other snacks, and there are minor admin costs. To cover these costs we ask that you make a voluntary cash donation on the day of between £5 and £10. Thank you.

Places are limited to twelve per clinic. When you register you agree to take responsibility for canceling your place if you find you are unable to attend. There is usually a waiting list and your place can be given to someone else.

Becoming a good ScrumMaster requires discipline and a continuous search for self-improvement. It will greatly help your journey to read one or both of the following papers before attending. Doing so will help clarify your purpose and focus your needs.

If you are interested in pursuing the Scrum Alliance Advanced ScrumMaster (A-CSM) certification please also familiarise yourself with the Learning Objectives for Advanced CSM, and begin to consider how you'd like to meet them. Please note that these learning objectives are still subject to change as the program evolves.

Outcome

If all goes well you'll return to work invigorated, and buzzing with new ideas and new hope. Will you have answers? Probably not. But it's almost certain you will have better questions.
